What to do with packing peanuts?

I want to order a few bantams and know I will get a bunch of extra chicks that I don't
have the space to care for. What's the best way to get rid of these? I could probably only keep
them a day or so. I'd like to find a place for them BEFORE they arrive. Is there a place on here
to post? I don't want money for them...just a home. I live in the Pensacola, FL area. Thanks

Quote:Some hatcheries do not ship packing peanuts and some (like Ideal, I believe) let you pay a fee to not get any packing peanuts. I find packing peanuts irresponsible if the company doesn't inform the buyer in advance about them.

I want to order from Ideal and they will ship without extras if I pay insurance, but I only want
about 7 or 8 bantams and they said that they wouldn't survive without the others. I would
prefer not to ship since I have no idea what I'm doing in that area. Plus it doesn't seem fair
to ship the poor little guys twice in a row.

Understood. I just ordered 6 chicks from MeyerHatchery. Try them, I don't believe I am getting packing peanuts with my order. Nothing was stated at all in the ordering process and the minimum order for any mix of chicks was 3.
